EPA FINDS NO "FOREVER CHEMICALS" IN ITS PESTICIDE TESTS
May 31, 2023
Agri-Pulse reports:
EPA did not find any so-called "forever chemicals" in pesticide products it tested, the agency said.
In contrast with a study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, the agency said none of the 10 pesticides contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.
"One of the most important differences between the two methods is that EPA's method ensures accurate measuring of PFAS by eliminating interference from the oils and surfactants present in these formulations which can result in false positive detections," the agency's Office of Pesticide Programs said.
